BAIT

BNI1

PPF3, SHE5, formin BNI1, L000000190, YNL271C
Formin; polarisome component; nucleates the formation of linear actin filaments, involved in cell processes such as budding and mitotic spindle orientation which require the formation of polarized actin cables, functionally redundant with BNR1
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

EMI1

YDR512C
Non-essential protein of unknown function; required for transcriptional induction of the early meiotic-specific transcription factor IME1, also required for sporulation; contains twin cysteine-x9-cysteine motifs
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

We describe the application of a novel screening approach that combines automated yeast genetics, synthetic genetic array (SGA) analysis, and a high-content screening (HCS) system to examine mitotic spindle morphogenesis. We measured numerous spindle and cellular morphological parameters in thousands of single mutants and corresponding sensitized double mutants lacking genes known to be involved in spindle function. We focused on ... [more]

  • High Throughput|Low Throughput

Ontology Terms

  • phenotype: spindle morphology (APO:0000213)

Additional Notes

  • High Throughput: A synthetic genetic array high-content screening analysis (SGA-HCS) was performed to identify defects in spindle morphogenesis apparent in a double mutant background involving either bni1 or bim1.
  • Low Throughput: Selected double mutants identified using the SGA-HCS analysis were further inspected manually.

Mutations/deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, but when combined in the same cell results in a more severe fitness defect or lethality under a given condition. This term is reserved for high or low throughput studies with scores.
